Well Nintendo have already said that the Wii will have Wi-Fi capabilities, much like the DS, straight out of the box, and it's been rumoured that you'll be able to play Super Smash Bros. Wii online, and with 16 people online too.

I am so looking forward to the Nintendo Conference. I don't have a 360 or a PS, so the Wii's all I'm looking forward to.

For those of us that aren't so graced to be able to watch this on television, are there any sites that have live coverage like what will be seen on TV? (I saw something on Gamespot, but I wasn't sure if it's everything I was looking for or if it was just chunks of what everyone else gets, or if it could even be live).

Edit - Nevermind, looks like the Gamespot coverage is fine.

They havne't said anything for about 8 weeks now (basically holding off news until E3 so they can get in on the whole E3ness.), so that means prolly playable demos (?) and a release date.

Plus system specs... *shudder*

PS3 controller is apparantly similar to the Wiimote, except it doesn't seem as though it does the full 3D.

Congrats Sony, you just made a ripoff of a console that'll sell for hundreds less than yours and still has another trick up its sleeve.

Haha, I'm actually glad they did that, now people can't use Nintendo's "OMG UB3R CONTROLLER" as a reason to buy it. now they have to think of another reason since their crutch broke (though it will be the pricetag now)



^- that terribly typed post on the Gamespot blog pretty much sums it up. No one can gripe about this "ripping" off because people have been complaining that Sony needs to act like other companies. Yes, it was a cheap shot, but the Wii's marketing point as been terribly shattered (though the commotion is nowhere near distinguished). Also, the technology that both the Wii and the PS3 are utilizing have been used for over 15 years. Yes, it's not really all that new. And all consoles have been copying off of each other ever since the olden years.

Wii + 360 = PS3

Aside from the pricetag, which is freaking outrageous if you don't save your money, the PS3 has the best of both worlds (well, almost the exactly same thing you'd get if you actually mixed the Wii and 360, which is nearly impossible to beat with just one of the single systems), and will probably end up dominating again. Doesn't matter if it's a "rip off" that sells for more, it will sell more and be more successful. The price is the only real turn-off.

Now... to see the Nintendo Show tomorrow. Don't know how much more they can really have up their sleeve. Don't want to sit through the DS junk though. But... I still want to see the Wii, even though I found out that E3 is boring if you aren't there. >_>

Well, I'm watching the Nintendo Pre-E3 Conference, and there's lots of stuff. Once it's over, I'll edit my post to show what I'm writing at CAD over here.

Oh, and the secret about the Controller for Wii is that it has a built-in speaker and a rumble feature.

Zomg Fire Emblem release title?

Omg, I'm so excited >_<. I can't wait for it to come (I just hope I can spend the money of it when it does, though). FF: CC, Super Mario Galaxy and Fire Emblem look soo good!

That's the secret? A little bad considering it doesn't meet the hype, though I may change my mind once I try it. I thought the rumble was obligatory anyway.

Where can I find screenshots of the games they showed? Mario Galaxies sounds intriguing.

Discordant - I don't know about screenshots, but you can find a video of the whole conference here: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/index.html (click Lo-Res Event Stream under Nintendo Press Conference). Some cutscenes (or whatever you call them) are there if you scroll at bit, and there's a long preview of LoZ: Twilight Princess xP. Mario Galaxy looks awesome.

ZONG! Super Smash Bros 3 is happening after all. . And Super Mario Galaxy looks incredable. As does Zelda... and all wii related stuff.

Then theres Spore. .

Man... I can't wait until all this stuff comes out

omigosh me too!

I'm soooo excited! I can't wait for the Wii, Zelda, SSBB (hehehehe, loving that acronym), Super Mario Galaxy, Spore, FFXIII (and FF versus XIII, omg, only things i'm looking to on the PS3 so far)...

Its just so exciting and awesome! *dances*

Wii... I dub thee the champions of E3.
I want the system NOW dammit. I've jumped ship from Sony and I'm goin' over to Nintendo... Too hooked.

Nice spiffy release of SSBB (very funny trailer clip I must say )
Wii!

OMG! Snake in Super Smash Bros.! THE SNAKE! I never thought I'd buy the Wii, but damn, it looks impressive.

Away from the Wii though, how many people were honestly disappointed by Sony? Other than MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Resistance and FFXIII, there wasn't really anything good worth mentioning. Sony had promised not to do what Microsoft did (i.e. releasing two packages, a core and a premium). And guess what?
20GB Dumbed down PS3 (no removable storage such as Memory Stick, no HDMI output) for $499
60GB *real* PS3 (wid all da trimmins) for $599.
These prices are US, so I'll be paying a freaking premium if I ever buy this thing here in Aus.

Microsoft is just meh. Halo 3 was cool, so was Gears of War. Otherwise, nothing else really interests me enough.

Now THAT is what I call a game.

And people were saying there was no 3rd Party Support.
